Governor Robert Bentley on Sunday announced he is refusing Syrian refugees relocating to Alabama.
"After full consideration of this weekend's attacks of terror on innocent citizens in Paris, I will oppose any attempt to relocate Syrian refugees to Alabama through the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program. As your Governor, I will not stand complicit to a policy that places the citizens of Alabama in harm's way," Governor Robert Bentley said.

Good, why can’t Jindal do the same thing?
Cause Jindal is all talk....
Thank you Governor Bentley.
I will stand with you. I will challenge and protest any attempts Obama has to dump this evil cult on our state. Every governor that is worth a flip should make a similar stand.
Finally, a statesman with backbone.
Bobby got no balls.
The veil has been lifted.
So, that’s Michigan and Alabama so far.
“Cause Jindal is all talk...”
Jindal is a sorry excuse for a governor. Glad he’s going nowhere with his presidential bid. Ditto for his “Indian Buddy” over in South Carolina.
He might be a statist squish, buy my governor stands for Alabama when it really counts. Hope he does as well when Obama sues him for not importing an Islamic invasion.
Who’s got the Alabama ping list?
Cause Jindal is all talk....
Didn’t know he didn’t.
See that thing for in the distance, that’s your political future sailing away bobby.
Can a state refuse a fed directive?
i dont care if it’s illegal, just wondering how far obummer wil push the envelope.
even michigan gov did it. isn’t that a blue state?
And this guy recently became a Dem, makes Bobby look even worse.
While I think it is great that the Governor is doing this, I must ask, how can he inforce it? I mean, once a person is in the US, what prevents them from travelling? The last time I was Stateside, there was no ‘border patrol’ guarding between States of the US.
Tough talking but maybe it will lead to a court case that will make him look good for opposing the migrants until he caves.
When the federal district judge legalized gay marriage ahead of the Supreme Court last year, Governor Bentley caved while Alabama’s Chief Justice Roy Moore instructed clerks that he had more power than a federal district judge who only had power in the Mobile County case.
Moore told them they could not issue gay marriage licenses, but Governor Bentley said he had to ‘obey the law’ and he said he was afraid of businesses not creating jobs in AL if he opposed gay marriage.
BENTLEY IS A SQUISH AND THIS IS AN EMOTIONAL FAKE DIVERSIONARY ISSUE FOR ELECTION YEAR PURPOSES......
Send these bastards to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. Barry will take ‘em.
One governor who stands with his state and America.
He’ll squish when a court ruling says he has to accept them just like Bentley did with a federal district judge’s ruling on gay marriage.
Meanwhile Justice Moore of the State Supreme Court legally ruled with the rest of his court in agreement the ruling did not apply to the entire state.
I’d be very surprised if Gov. Kasich did.
Very surprised.
After his debate “performance”, I removed my email from his list of campaign announcements and donation requests.
Just a RAT in elephant skin.
